Zhu Haimei did not know what to do. Although her sister-in-law had already said that they had discussed buying certain items, but her mother-in-law was still debating it. Zhu Haimei also could not say that it was not his idea. However, it was he who first mentioned canned yellow peaches.
"Mom, Mom, this is Chunlai's idea. Don't be mad at Haimei." Shen Hexian helped Zhu Haimei speak.
Her mother-in-law then snorted in annoyance. "What's? This is Chunlai's fucking idea? Ever since Chunlai's family was on the production team, they've been sharing peach forest with her for a few years, and I've never heard Chunlai say that she wants to make canned peaches or anything like that. As soon as Zhu Haimei returned here, your husband just started making them, you want to trick Mom?"
Shen Hexangan then said the truth, because he did not dare to refute his mother's words. Only, he said it in a pleading tone.
"Mom, can you not take this matter?"
"I'm asking you, do your in-laws agree with your idea of making this canned food?"
Shen Hujian was silent.
His mother then propped up on her crutches on the floor. "Your parents are very smart people. They won't let you do it. Your father and I are against it, so don't make it here."
Zhu Haimei then said quickly. "This canned food is delicious. How about I make it for mom to try first? After all, these materials can't be returned, right?"
"You're doing something that's against existing trade rules, so be careful or you're going to jail."
Upon hearing her mother-in-law's words, Zhu Haimei also wanted to laugh, but her sister-in-law's face turned pale, "Mom, why did Mother mention that?"
The atmosphere suddenly turned grim. Zhu Haimei's mother-in-law then cleared her throat briefly and returned to her room.
Hey, what's up with this situation?
I don't know, Zhu Haimei chose not to care about the two of them. After the yellow peaches were almost ripe, he immediately began experimenting.
Zhu Haimei washed the fruit, then peeled the skin, then cut it off, accompanied by a dim old lamp, he slightly tidied up the kitchen and sat alone there. He loved the atmosphere while doing something like this, silent, calm, happy and also dispelled all the thoughts that disturbed him.
When the peaches are ready, he puts water in the pot and puts the ingredients in place. He then recorded the amount of material he used. After which, he started lighting the furnace and cooking it slowly.
Inside the house, her mother-in-law was whispering to her husband. "At first Zhu Haimei acted. The yellow peaches cost little, but the honey and sugar cubes he used were expensive. In the end, he would only spend Dongyuan's money."
"What are you worried about? It's not that you're always nagging when he cooks, but the cooking is delicious, too."
"How can you defend him?"
Shen Yousheng took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. "I didn't buy anyone. Who wouldn't want to walk into a better life? Didn't Chunlai and Hexian also want a good life?"
"Walking a good life? You forgot, were it not for Guangzhi being willing to sell chickens, Hexangan would not have married Chunlai. Would she be able to have a good life if her in-laws were so cruel?"
"Look at you, why are you mentioning this? Isn't Chunlai very kind to the Exception? All of this happened because Hexangan and Guangzhi were not meant to be together. Don't talk about this anymore. If Chunlai finds out, what will be his view on Hexian?"
Although Shen Yousheng was sometimes honest, but he was not a person who was careless in speaking. His wife knew that she had said something wrong, and she did not dare to speak again. He then went out to see Haimei and told him to clean the kitchen after finishing his work, then went to bed.
The next day, Zhu Haimei woke up early, and he rushed to see his yellow peaches. Unfortunately, iq immediately pouted after seeing it. His yellow peaches he had soaked all night, but the color did not look good. Does the food coloring work?
He then took a piece of peach with chopsticks and bit him. It tastes good but is less sweet and the consistency of the fruit sip is also lacking. He still had to raise it again, such yellow peaches would not be male if sold, but could still be eaten on their own.
First he serves the fruit exactly into one small bowl, then closes back the rest. When his brother-in-law comes later, he will show it. He would give a small bowl of canned food to his mother-in-law.
Right now Zhu Haimei was already standing beside his Mother-in-law. "How's Ma? Is this delicious?"
Her mother-in-law then said, "What food does not taste good when soaked with honey?"
Zhu Haimei was immediately gloomy. Never mind, it seemed that she could not expect an opinion on the exact taste of fruit from her mother-in-law.
'That's very good', Zhu Haimei's inner voice then saw Wang Chunlai carrying a large basket of glass jars with an iron lid.
"Where did Brother-in-law buy it?"
Wang Chunlai proudly said, "In the glass factory that is in Lin County. I bought 20 first, it cost 0.05 yuan. I bought it so you could see it first, if it's good, we can order it again."
Zhu Haimei then picked up the glass jar and looked at it carefully. It was an old-fashioned thick glass jar. The shape is the same as usual, cylinder from top to bottom. "Is that glass factory able to make another shape?"
"Can a jar like this not be used?" Ask Shen Hexangan.
Zhu Haimei then pulled her to look at the yellow peach she had made. Shen Hexangan was shocked. "You're done making it?"
"Not yet
. The color's not very good."
Shen Hexian had never seen canned yellow peaches, so he could not tell the difference. He does not know what color is good, and what color is not good.
Zhu Haimei then took out a piece of peach and gave it to his brother-in-law.
"Take a taste, how does it feel?"
Shen Hexian bit him carefully and a sweet taste filled his mouth. He even said it was delicious. Wang Chunlai followed them into the kitchen and tasted a piece, then praised Zhu Haimei nonstop.
Zhu Haimei sighed inwardly. This was their first time eating canned food, so if they felt it was delicious, it was perfectly normal. If he improves his taste, he must rely on himself.
Wang Chunlai stopped after eating four or five pieces of peaches that Zhu Haimei had prepared. "Sister-in-law, this is so good. Can't we just use that glass jar?"
"Peach fruit is basically divided into two parts. So we better use a wide-bellied jar. If we use that type of jar, the contents can be a lot. Whereas if the jar is like this, it's a little."
Wang Chunlai suddenly understood that Zhu Haimei's words did make sense.
"How about I go to the glass factory with you to ask?"
Wang Chunlai then nodded repeatedly to persuade Zhu Haimei. "All right, all right." Zhu Haimei replied briefly. Wang Chunlai then said as he turned his head to Shen Hexangan. "I really didn't expect that we could make canned food. If I knew we could make this from scratch, I could make you live a good life."
Shen Hexangan seemed a little embarrassed after hearing her husband's remarks just now. "How can you say that in Haimei's presence?"
Zhu Haimei smiled and pretended not to hear. "This has to be reprocessed, and Brother-in-law, you have to ask the factory if there is a tool to tighten the lid of the jar. If there are, we can also buy some. Otherwise, our product will be damaged after the buyer takes it home and we shouldn't let that happen."
Wang Chunlai nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Haimei adjusted the amount of honey and rock sugar, then adjusted the amount of water and finally the soup became thicker, only the color was still not too good
He does not dare to use too much dye, because he should not do anything dangerous for his own benefit.
Her mother-in-law said, "The peach is not yet ripe. The color alone is not yellow, you cannot accelerate the forced maturation. It makes the color ugly."
Zhu Haimei suddenly understood. He turned to his mother-in-law and praised her blatantly. "Mom, what I said is true. Someone more mature is more experienced."
The praise was very clear and her Mother-in-law could not adapt to Zhu Haimei's such attitude. He took his crutches and went outside.
He had already accepted Zhu Haimei's situation now. What her husband said was true. Although she did not like her daughter-in-law, she could not change the fact that her daughter-in-law was the wife of her eldest son. Moreover, when everyone was against the marriage of his eldest son and Zhu Haimei, he himself insisted on marrying them, even though it was also because of the words of the fortune-teller.
